AUTOSET PRESETTING FOR THE MODERN PRESSROOM
KEYCOLOR AUTOSET SOFTWARE IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE KEYCOLOR REMOTE INK CONTROL SYSTEM ENABLES
PRINTERS TO ACHIEVE DRAMATIC REDUCTIONS IN BOTH MAKE-READY TIME AND WASTE BY ACCURATELY PRESETTING
ALL INK FOUNTAIN KEYS. MAKE-READY TIME SAVINGS OF 30-50% AND STARTUP PAPER WASTE SAVINGS OF 10% ARE
TYPICAL. KEYCOLOR AUTOSET CONVERTS DIGITAL FILES SUCH AS CIP3, BMP, JPG, OR TIF TO INK ZONE COVERAGE THAT IS
SENT TO THE INK DESK VIA LAN NETWORK, SERIAL LINK, OR FLOPPY DISK. KEYCOLOR AUTOSET WILL ACCEPT FULL
PLATE IMAGES OR PROVIDE IMPOSITION OF INDIVIDUAL PAGES TO PROVIDE FULL PLATE COVERAGE.
THE KEYCOLOR AUTOSET COMPUTER IS TYPICALLY LOCATED IN
THE PLATE ROOM AND CONVERTS DIGITAL INFORMATION FROM
THE IMAGE GENERATING HARDWARE TO A FILE THAT IS SENT TO
THE INK DESK OVER A NETWORK CONNECTION OR FLOPPY DISK.
INPUTS
AUTOSET SUPPORTS A WIDE VARIETY OF THE MOST COMMON AND
USEFUL INPUT FORMATS FOR THE PRINTING INDUSTRY. AMONG
THE SUPPORTED FORMATS ARE:
● CIP3 FILES IN BINARY OR ASCIIHEX FORMAT – SINGLE
FILES FOR EACH SEPARATION OR ALL FILES FOR
A PAGE IN ONE FILE.
● SCREEN MATRIX FILES IN BMP, JPG, OR TIF FORMAT.
ONE FILE PER SEPARATION OR ONE RBG FILE PER
PLATE.
● INDIVIDUAL PAGE FILES WITH IMPOSITION DONE
AUTOMATICALLY.
● FILES GENERATED BY THE IMAGE GENERATOR
DEFINING INK COVERAGE PER LANE PER COLOR.
● DIRECT PLATE SCANNER INPUT
PROCESSING
THE IMAGE IS READ BY THE AUTOSET COMPUTER IN THE PLATE
ROOM AND IS CONVERTED INTO A FILE THAT IS AVAILABLE TO
THE KEYCOLOR INK DESK WITH A NETWORK CONNECTION OR
WITH A FLOPPY DISK.
INK DESK INTERFACE
THE PRESS OPERATOR SELECTS THE JOB TO BE PRESET FROM THE
LIST OF AVAILABLE JOBS SHOWN ON THE INK DESK MONITOR. THE
KEYCOLOR SYSTEM THEN SIMULTANEOUSLY PRESETS ALL INK
KEYS TO THE PROPER SETTINGS.
THE JOB FILE FORMAT USED IN THE STANDARD VERSION OF
AUTOSETCONTAINS INFORMATION DESIGNATING THE WEB,
SIDE, AND COLOR FOR EACH PLATE. KEYCOLOR USES THIS
INFORMATION TO ROUTE PRESET DATA TO THE PROPER
FOUNTAIN.
INSTALLATIONS RUNNING AUTOPAGE REQUIRE ONLY PAGE
NUMBER AND COLOR IN ORDER TO PROPERLY ROUTE THE
PRESET DATA.
IN BOTH APPROACHES, THE ACCURACY OF INK KEY SETTING IS
CONTINUALLY IMPROVED BY AUTOMATICALLY MONITORING
THE DIFFERENCE, IF ANY, BETWEEN PRESET KEY SETTINGS AND
“OK SHEET” SETTINGS.
BECAUSE THE PRESET FILES REPRESENT THE INK COVERAGE IN
EACH KEY ZONE, A PRESET FILE CAN BE USED ON ANY PRESS
WITH THE SAME WIDTH KEY ZONES. CONVERSION TO KEY
POSITION WILL REFLECT THE CHARACTERISTICS OF EACH
PARTICULAR PRESS AND FOUNTAIN.
THE INK DESK SOFTWARE ALSO SUPPORTS UNLIMITED, USER
DEFINED PAPER TYPES. THE KEYCOLOR INK DESK WILL LEARN
TO ACCURATELY PRESET THE INK KEYS FOR EACH FOUNTAIN
AND PAPER TYPE COMBINATION.
THERE IS NO SINGLE CONFIGURATION OF PRESETTING THAT FITS
ALL APPLICATIONS. WE RECOMMEND SUBMITTING A SAMPLE
INPUT FILE TO OUR ENGINEERING STAFF FOR A SPECIFIC
APPLICATION ANALYSIS.
